I have a question about my FSL third level analysis for RiskTime.01. The highest-level report log (the one in the top-level output directory looks fine, and the program did produce data for the contrast (though data that didn't look like what I would have expected based on previous analyses).
However, when I go down one level into the cope1.feat directory and look a the report log there, I get something that looks like this:

The same message (DOF cannot be zero or negative!) repeats for many pages. Then it switches to:

Log directory is: stats
Setting up:

nvoxels=221619
Running:

Then it keeps counting up the percentage done from 1 to 100 with these same error messages repeated every time, after which it finishes off with the post-stats looking normal.
I don't know what's happening. Is this supposed to be happening? Like I said, it does output a contrast, but none of my older third-levels have log files that contain these sorts of error messages and I can't shake the feeling that so many pages of errors must mean something is wrong.
The second-levels logs all normal (both the top directory report and the report for the individual cope I checked).
Any ideas what's going on?
